Wellesley, Massachusetts, in the late 1870s and 1880s was a quiet town on the Boston and Albany rail line, where Wellesley College had opened in 1875 as a women's college on the shore of Lake Waban. Its founder, Henry Fowle Durant, had set out to offer young women a course of study comparable to the best men's colleges, and by the time this illustration appeared in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, the school was drawing students from across the country. Daily religious exercises and the chapel were central to campus routine, reflecting the Protestant piety of the founders and of the families who sent their daughters there. Readers of a national monthly in those years would have known Wellesley as one of the newer women's colleges, part of a wider debate over whether women should receive the same education as men.
